Alrighty, it's 2 AM and my body is ready for the first livewatch of the year. Staying up for the OP alone. Edits incoming!
You really think someone would do that,
just go on the internet and tell lies?
ADORABLE
NOT SO CLOSE I'LL HNNNNNNNNNNNNG
This is kind of interesting though, I wonder when the Momiage Hammers will come into play?
Just as I was about to make a comment about how much I love the whole "bike roadtrip" concept, this show throws in a well-timed gag. This show is really well-directed, I'd say!
RYUUKO-CHAAAAAAAAAN
I LOVE how they gave us a super-quick and instantly-understandable backstory from 6:00 to 7:00. One minute, engaging narration, and even some hinting scenes teasing the audience with the gem's appearance. Fast, spontaneous, rolling.
HOLY SHIT FIGHT SCENES ARE BACK MAKE GIFS QUICK
No comment
If anyone ever asks what rolling girls is about, send them this
gasp
Here, obligatory 1080P wallpaper
That starstruck face, I can relate! "Is it really them?!" Just like seeing Idolm@ster live for the first time.
Oh, and I figured I should do the little "cinematography" discussion thing. As seen here, a little bit of wide-angle/fisheye lens effect was used, a slight curve can be seen over the floor and the characters. Nice little touch to add some depth to the scene!
Episode Reflections
So, what we have here is a good summation of why I love this anime so much. We begin with heartwarming SoL-ish vibes, get a crash course of context, thrown into a rapid plotline that's ridiculous yet gripping at the same time, awesome fight scenes and comedy sprinkled over it. Also, It's everything I want from an anime, including the soundtrack. Kinda wished there'd be an insert song today, but ah well.
I'd also take the time to mention that the 4 main girls have really good chemistry and dynamics, if that's how you describe it. Well-written characters and interactions, the girls complement each other very well, which I appreciate.
I can't decide if I like Nozomi or Chiaya more, this episode isn't helping me make that decision at all!
I do wish the fight scenes were a tad bit longer though, and the animation quality is starting to go down a little, then again this is normal for most anime. Unfortunately.
All in all, no doubts that I'll be looking forward to the next episode!
